      I'm black every day, so truthfully, I don't understand what all the hype is about.

    LOL! And to take your point a step further, I am not black on Friday or any other day of the week, so I don't get it either.

    Well, not all of us are so lucky, Mr. Randy D. Some of us have to wait for the holiday and only get to be once per year. Hmpf.

      Why are you asking me?  I'm not the person who came up with Black Friday, so I can't answer as to why it's a big deal to some people, so I cannot explain why its alternate doesn't exist.

    O.K.  Now we are talkin'!  Thank you Randy for bringing this point up because..... even though, we all (hopefully) know "Black Friday" really is an accounting term.  It has Nothing to do with the color of your skin.  
    I can already hear the people raging about the racism of this term.  It really is about merchants getting into  the black and out of the red!
    BUY!  BUY!  BUY!




      *Side note* You have beautiful skin Randy. Please don't take offense. Take it as a compliment.***

    Wait... what?!? I don't get to be black?!? But... but... Randy D said! 

    *sigh* Does this mean I'll have to resign my position at the NAACP?

    Normally, I would be helping mom and dad with dishes and stuffing my face with pumpkin pie.
     
    This Black Friday I guaranteed myself I would be at the Humane Society in the morning and laying tile in our bathroom during the afternoon.

    I know.  Not a very Merlie thing to do but it kind of is...

    I like the idea of being in the black group... even if it is just for a day!

    Anything but shopping - certainly ignoring it as it's an American commercial practice and I neither live in America nor fall for the inflated "Sales" nonsense anyway, though some of the larger supermarkets etc. in the UK have adopted it.

    Remember it's only a "bargain" if you actually want or need it, and the sale price is genuinely lower than normal!

    Do not like to shop and I'm not very good at it. If I find something I like that fits, I usually buy more than one.  One way to extend the time inbetween necessary shopping.
